Must be a difficult red pill to swallow, yt is playing games about showing it even after accepting the mature audience caveat
Trump @ War, a movie documentary by Steve Bannon, is an amazing and detailed accounting of the revolution between liberal and conservative ideologies that took place in the months leading up to the 2016 elections, https://trumpatwar.com/https://www.westernjournal.com/trumpatwar/

Re: Trump's Milestones

It seems possible that the prince/king are playing both sides of the street. After reading this article, I can’t help but wonder how much influence the Saudis had in the decision to withdraw from the Iran agreement, especially in light of the “close friendship forged between Jarad Kushner and the prince” and what “deals” may have been struck.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Trump administration pushed back on Tuesday against rising condemnation of Saudi Arabia and showed support for its crown prince, who has been linked to the disappearance and possible murder of a leading dissident journalist inside a Saudi consulate in Turkey.

In his strongest language to date over the missing journalist, Mr. Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press: “Here we go again with you’re guilty until proven innocent.”

Mr. Pompeo issued a statement saying Saudi leaders had promised a “thorough, transparent, and timely investigation” into what had befallen the journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, after he entered the consulate on Oct. 2. Mr. Trump and Mr. Pompeo also said the Saudi leaders had repeated their emphatic denials of any involvement in Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance.

After days of leaks by Turkish officials that accused Saudi Arabia of sending a hit squad to kill Mr. Khashoggi and dismember him with a bone saw, this was the latest indication that the Trump administration would help its top Arab ally defuse an international crisis.

The administration’s moves have come as criticism of Crown Prince Mohammed has intensified — including by Republican members of Congress, business leaders and human rights officials — over Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance and apparent murder.

Saudi Arabia also took steps on Tuesday to please the White House. Just as Mr. Pompeo met with Saudi leaders, a long-promised Saudi pledge of $100 million to help American aid efforts in Syrian areas liberated from the Islamic State was deposited in State Department accounts. (Boy, this really is speaking trumpese!!!)

Neither Mr. Trump nor Mr. Pompeo provided any new insights into what had happened to Mr. Khashoggi. But with his comment about presumed guilt, Mr. Trump drew a parallel to the sexual assault accusations made against his newest Supreme Court justice, Brett M. Kavanaugh.
...In the case of Mr. Khashoggi, Mr. Trump first expressed concern about the allegations and warned of severe consequences if the Saudi government were found responsible. But after days of unconvincing denials from the Saudis and growing evidence that Crown Prince Mohammed or his family may have been involved, Mr. Trump is shifting to a tone of defiance.
...
Mr. Khashoggi was last seen entering Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul seeking marriage documents. Speaking anonymously, Turkish officials say they have evidence he was killed within two hours of entering the consulate by a team of Saudi agents.

“Answers will be forthcoming shortly,” Mr. Trump said on Twitter, relaying that he had spoken with Crown Prince Mohammed on a phone call that also included Mr. Pompeo. Prince Mohammed, Mr. Trump said, “totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish consulate.” ​(Apparently, this is good enough for trump, regardless of other evidence.)

The crown prince “has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter,” the president said.
...

Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, told reporters in Ankara on Tuesday that investigators who searched the consulate on Monday and Tuesday were looking into “toxic materials, and those materials being removed by painting them over.” Turkish news outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported that Mr. Khashoggi was drugged, and that parts of the consulate and the nearby consul’s residence were repainted after the journalist’s disappearance.

Later in the day, the Saudi consul, Mohammed al-Otaibi, left the country, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said. Mr. Pompeo is expected to travel to Ankara, the Turkish capital, on Wednesday.

Mr. Trump has vowed “severe punishment” if a Saudi hand is confirmed in Mr. Khashoggi’s killing, but has said he does not want the case to affect arms sales that create American jobs.

But on Monday, a person familiar with Saudi plans said the kingdom was likely to say that the killing was an accident committed by “rogue” Saudi agents, not an assassination ordered from Riyadh. The Saudi version of the story will probably be that officials intended to interrogate and abduct Mr. Khashoggi, spiriting him back to Saudi Arabia, but that they botched the job, killing him instead, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because Saudi officials had yet to talk publicly about their plans. (And they just happened to have bone saws in their briefcases.)

The reported killing has created a bipartisan uproar in Congress, shaking the foundations of the close American-Saudi relationship with calls for suspension of military sales punctuated by particularly strong rebukes of Crown Prince Mohammed, who basically rules the kingdom for his father, King Salman.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and formerly a strong advocate of Saudi Arabia, has been among the most outspoken critics of the crown prince over the Khashoggi mystery, even before more facts are known. “He had this guy murdered in the consulate in Turkey,” Mr. Graham said Tuesday on the “Fox and Friends” news program. “Expect me to ignore it? I feel used and abused.”

...

​

BTW: It has been reported that U.S. Intelligence agencies had intercepted information that the Saudis wanted to lure the journalist to Saudi Arabia to either capture or kill him.

Re: Trump's Milestones

This is just how stupid the liar-in-chief is...he is threatening to cut off trade with Mexico if they don’t stop the migration of Central Americans through Mexico. The U.S. gets approximately 70% of our supply of fresh vegetables and 40% of our fresh fruit from Mexico...nevertheless much of that grown in the US is harvested by Mexicans—in the past, many of the farmers who depended on them, lost their crops in the fields when Mexican labor dried up. When was the last time that Mexico threatened the US because except for the buyers/users of ill of illegal drugs in the US they wouldn’t have nearly the cartel problems they do?

Re: Trump's Milestones

Am I the only one who thinks that misconduct, with some of it probably illegal, by the POTUS, is not "" ? That he sits in the Oval Office and directs that certain things be done to protect his own/family's business interest, and at a higher cost of the project to the taxpayers (you and me) than the original plan, that's ?
